Contemporary Controls - Logo

Contemporary Controls has a rich inventory of intellectual property that can be tapped for the next generation automation project. In addition to communications hardware design that includes hubs, switches, routers and gateways, the company is skilled in firmware development and is versant in open-system protocols and operating systems. Modern embedded system design requires a thorough knowledge of regulatory requirements in order to comply with the target industry and worldwide markets. Contemporary Controls can add its skill and knowledge to a customer's project for mutual benefit.
Although project management responsibility resides at headquarters, the best technical resources are recruited around the world. Schematic capture, circuit simulation, board layout, EMC compatibility, regulatory compliance, product verification and validation are all part of a systematic process. Prototyping is accomplished using the company's manufacturing resources. With manufacturing in the same building, designs can quickly be verified, greatly reducing time-to-market.

BAS SERIES
The BAS Remote series provide the system integrator a flexible building block when integrating diverse building automation protocols or when expanding the number of points in a building automation system. By supporting open system protocols such as BACnet®, Modbus and Sedona Framework SOX, the BAS Remote series is easily adaptable. For small systems, it can operate stand-alone. For larger systems, it can communicate to supervisory controllers over Ethernet.

BAS Remote Master - Versatile Web Appliance
The BAS Remote Master provides the ultimate in flexibility. It can be used for expansion I/O at remote locations where an Ethernet connection exists. Its built-in router and gateway capabilities address unique integration needs where more than one communications protocol is involved. It can operate as a function block programmable controller with its resident Sedona Framework Virtual Machine. Powered by a Linux engine, the BAS Remote Master can operate as BACnet/IP and Modbus TCP remote I/O, Sedona Framework controller, Modbus Serial to Modbus TCP router, Modbus Serial to BACnet gateway, and Modbus master to attached Modbus slaves all at the same time. A 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port allows connection to IP networks and popular building automation protocols such as Modbus TCP, BACnet/IP, and Sedona SOX. Six universal I/O points and two relay outputs can be confi gured through resident web pages using a standard web browser and without the need of a special programming tool. A 2-wire Modbus serial port can greatly expand the I/O count with built-in routing to Modbus TCP clients. If BACnet mapping is preferred, the unit incorporates a Modbus serial to BACnet/IP gateway. The BAS Remote Master also allows you to install custom web pages so you can view the status of your system in a convenient manner. And using its onboard Web Services, your IT department can easily interact with the BAS Remote Master.
